Campbell comes off bench to lead
Raiders
Benched in Week 2, Jason Campbell waited patiently for a second chance. He got it Sunday when Bruce Gradkowski suffered an injury at the end of the first quarter. Campbell answered the call by leading two long touchdown drives, including the game-winner with less than four minutes to play, giving the Raiders their first victory over the Chargers since 2003.
Freeman leads young Bucs to road rally
Trailing, 21-14, late in the fourth quarter, a comeback looked grim for a young and inexperienced Buccaneers team. But Josh Freeman refused to go down quietly. The second-year quarterback directed two scoring drives in the final two minutes, giving Tampa Bay a signature road win against a preseason contender and its third victory in four tries.
Mariani delivers for
Titans in the clutch
Tied, 27-27, with momentum on the Cowboys' side, Tennessee turned to an unlikely hero, rookie Marc Mariani, who was eager to redeem himself after two costly fumbles earlier in the season. The seventh-round pick from Montana did just that, taking a kickoff 73 yards to set up the Titans' game-winning touchdown -- and an unlikely victory on the road.
